Testing for ancient admixture between closely related populations.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2011

Durand Eric Y, Patterson Nick, Reich David, Slatkin Montgomery

Abstract excerpt

One enduring question in evolutionary biology is the extent of archaic admixture in the genomes of present-day populations. In this paper, we present a test for ancient admixture that exploits the asymmetry in the frequencies of the two nonconcordant gene trees in a three-population tree. This test was first applied to detect interbreeding between Neandertals and modern humans. We derive the analytic expectation...
